Summary:
It all started as a little bet. Each wanted to prove the existence of the supernatural to their new friend, and neither was willing to listen. This quickly turns to chaos as a haunted tunnel and horny aliens get thrown into the mix.
The attempt to save Jiji and his family home isn’t going well. In fact, it’s safe to say that these two friends have never been in more danger. They’ll have to get creative if they want to survive what is to come.
Review:
Holy cats. Dandadan Vol. 6 is a whirlwind of events. We have three characters (four? Should I count Granny Cat?) fighting for their lives, all while dozens of antagonists run around, get in the way, and try to kill everyone else. It’s a chaotic mess.
In other words, it’s Dandadan in a nutshell. The beginning of this volume leans more into the action/drama of the plot, but we do get back to that comedy baseline by the end. Since I love that balance, I’m not complaining!
I do wonder how big of a role Jiji will play going forward. The addition before him was hardly around for this arc, so we’ll have a rotating cast (outside of Momo and Okarun, that is). I think that could work well, but we’ll have to see what the author has in mind.
Highlights:
- Horror/Science Fiction Manga
- Comedy
- Supernatural
- Sci-Fi versus Fantasy
